A picture of an entire family killed in this mornings massive Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv is going viral in Ukraine.
People are horrified by Russia’s brutality and furious about the attacks on civilians.
14 Ukrainian civilians have been found dead in Kyiv so far.
Dear @FIDE_chess,
Why are you allowing teams from illegally occupied parts of Ukraine 🇺🇦 in FIDE-rated Russian🇷🇺championships?
They use kids for propaganda-slogans, and the FIDE Ethics committee ruled it illegal in June 2024.

PGL are collaborating with the russian “games of the future” — a state-backed project personally attended by putin, where he promoted propaganda narratives and called it “a gift to the world sports family”
@pglesports@ssilviu hello
Another Astana event, another disgusting PGL action...
This time @pglesports decided to collaborate with Games of the Future...
For those who forgot or wasnt aware:
Games of the Future is a russian government-organized event created to whitewash russia using esports. In 2024 this event was held in the russian city of Kazan and war criminal putin personally attended this event and gave a speech during the opening ceremony. Such a shame PGL thinks it's okay to collaborate with the russian government. Dissapointed 🤢 @ssilviu
In 2025 GoF held an event in the UAE, and in 2026 they're coming to Astana. They spread the geography, but they don't change their main goal. Created and organized by russians, those tournaments are doing an amazing job in whitewashing their terrorist state. Russian athletes are represented here without any limitations: they're able to participate here under their flag and other national symbols. They created an alternative Olympics where russians don't have to be "neutral". This is inhuman.
Dear @pglesports you don't have to make your hands dirty by collabing with russian government project. Please react!
The horrific images we are witnessing in Ukraine today are a direct consequence of Trump’s actions.
Since Donald Trump returned to power, the number of russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians — and the resulting death toll — has increased sharply.
Why?
First, Trump has emboldened Putin.
Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Putin and emphasized improving relations. He even invited this war criminal to the United States. And now, Putin’s photo is hanging in the White House – a symbolic gesture that does not go unnoticed.
In geopolitics, signals matter. They shape expectations about future support, consequences, and resolve.
Second, credibility and trust have eroded.
Trump has surrounded himself with russian-linked figures to such an extent that foreign intelligence agencies “fear sharing secrets with the U.S.,” viewing his administration as highly untrustworthy.
Just a few examples: the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has expressed pro-russian views, spread conspiracies about alleged American biolabs in Ukraine, and blamed NATO for russia’s invasion. The FBI Director, Kash Patel, received a $25,000 fee from a russian film company that promoted pro-russian and anti-Western narratives.
Third, support for Ukraine has effectively stopped.
Instead of “ending the war in 24 hours,” he ended all of the assistance Ukraine was receiving from the United States. Just yesterday, JD Vance said that stopping funding for Ukraine was one of the proudest actions of the administration. So the devastation we are witnessing today is a direct consequence of these actions. History will remember this — and it will also remember those who supported it.
All of these actions have changed incentives for russia: if the cost of aggression decreases, escalation becomes more likely. So what we are witnessing today is not random. It is the result of these choices.
History will remember this — and it will also remember those who supported it.
